Powell thinks Bin Laden is still alive
September 11, 2004 UPDA0911



• Latest: Three years after the Sept. 11 attacks, Secretary of State Colin Powell said he believes Osama bin Laden is still alive, in hiding and on the run.

The Al-Qaida network has been decimated at top levels since Bin Laden last appeared on television three years ago, Powell said. "It does have the capacity to regenerate itself," he said of Al-Qaida. But any future leaders are not as accomplished or as experienced as "those who have been taken out" in the U.S. campaign that overthrew the Taliban regime in Afghanistan and the subsequent hunt for Al-Qaida operatives, Powell said.

The Saudi expatriate Bin Laden, the target of Bush administration rhetoric after the attacks three years ago, has largely dropped out of the U.S. lexicon. There was no direct mention of him at the Republican National Convention that nominated President Bush for a second term.

"I don't know where he is," Powell said. "I don't know his state of health. I believe he is still alive, but I can't prove that. He clearly is in hiding and he is on the run." Powell went on: "He is not popping up on television and he is not showing himself in a way that he can be captured."

how cute.

Will have to ask why Rudy put the security HQ in the WTC and how much of the money he collected for his "fund" went into his and the pockets of his then gal pal and other officers.

6. Amazing job numbers! Amazing GDP growth!

The government will release a jobs report that shows 400,000 jobs were created in September. Unemployment will drop to 5.2%. GDP will rise at nearly 4%. Stay the course! The tax cuts are working!

In November the numbers will be "revised" downward to reflect 130,000 jobs and 5.5% unemployment. GDP to 2.8%. Ooops!
